A haiku.

Bold wind scattered crows

Stitch black seams across the sky

Vanish into light

  • Preston Carew on Jul 22, 2009

    This was good, but Haikus are 5-7-5, this was 5-7-7
    Otherwise, well done

  • OhSugar on Jul 22, 2009

    I enjoyed reading this piece. I especially enjoyed the dog’s intense stare at the crows. Nice.

  • Ruby Hawk on Jul 22, 2009

    First let me thank you all for your kindness then hide my face in shame. I have written many haiku and I know it’s 5-7-5. I don’t know where my mind was. I fixed it but who knows when Triond will.If Preston hadn’t mentioned it I would probably never have noticed.Thank you all again my good friends.

  • I Have Had Enough on Jul 22, 2009

  • DA Cournean on Jul 22, 2009

    Very nice Ruby!

  • Daisy Peasblossom on Jul 23, 2009

    I wouldn’t worry too much about the syllables. the added one is an article, which is pretty much allowable. The imagery is incredible, and that is what makes a good haiku.

  • Lostash on Jul 23, 2009

    Liked it Ruby!

  • David Crerand on Jul 28, 2009

    precision of the image, well done.

  • The Cinders on Jul 29, 2009

    That’s very dark and uprooting. I can really picture that dismal sky! Keep up the good work!
